Cross-Channel Attention-Based Target Speaker Voice Activity Detection: Experimental Results for M2MeT Challenge
share
In this paper, we present the speaker diarization system for the Multi-channel Multi-party Meeting Transcription Challenge (M2MeT) from team DKU_DukeECE. As the highly overlapped speech exists in the dataset, we employ an x-vector-based target-speaker voice activity detection (TS-VAD) to find the overlap between speakers. For the single-channel scenario, we separately train a model for each of the 8 channels and fuse the results. We also employ the cross-channel self-attention to further improve the performance, where the non-linear spatial correlations between different channels are learned and fused. Experimental results on the evaluation set show that the single-channel TS-VAD reduces the DER by over 75 TS-VAD further reduces the DER by 28 submitted system achieves a DER of 2.98 ranks 1st in the M2MET challenge.
